TriStar,
the revolutionary Triathlon
World Series
TriStar is an international triathlon event series held over various new distances. It was launched in September 2009 with TriStar200 Andalucía in Spain and has rapidly grown ever since. While there were four races in 2010, their number increased to ten in 2011 and the future will see its further rise. A simple motto “Yes, you can!” sums up the idea of sport events that are easily accessible for everyone with the desire to participate. Several innovative formats recognized by the ITU offer a perfect complementary solution between Olympic
and long-distance triathlons. Fun, environmental protection and social responsibility are the three main aspects of all TriStar races. TriStar takes the world‘s most popular sports disciples – swimming, cycling and running – to serve them in the most fun and enjoyable way. New formats attracting amateurs widen the scope of people interested in participation, which makes us witness rookies standing side by side with top triathletes. Beginners are pleased by the possibility to join relay teams where they can focus on one of the three disciplines; professionals can
use TriStar as a preparation for long-distance races. Shorter swim and run distances enable shortened recovery times, giving athletes the possibility to participate in more races than before. More TriStar, more fun! TriStar already unveiled a handful of fresh, fun-oriented new features and there is much more to come. Legalizing drafting on some of the races makes them more thrilling than ever. Giving the possibility to race in teams of five brings the team spirit back to a sport that was for a long time perceived as individual. TriStar comes to break down the old-fashioned triathlon mindset and make everyone enjoy their race in a new, exciting way. www.star-events.cc
